With ArcView or ArcEditor (Single Use), you can enable extensions for evaluation through the ArcView or ArcEditor registration and authorization process.
To evaluate extensions for ArcGIS (Concurrent), you must order evaluation keycodes.
The following are additional ArcGIS Desktop extensions:

• Production Line Tool Set (PLTS) for ArcGIS
  
• ArcGIS Business Analyst
